A pencil dipped in water appears to be bent at the interface of air and water due to the refraction of light. The refraction of light occurs because the speed of light changes when light travels from one medium to another.
Therefore, the pencil will not appear to be bent to the same extent, when it is dipped in kerosene or turpentine. This is because refractive index of kerosene or turpentine is different than the refractive index of water and hence speed of light will be different in kerosene than that in water.

the refractive index of kerosene is low as compared to water so the pencil will not bent as the same extend in kerosene
